After a week of teasers, Ubisoft has lifted the lid on the PS4 and Xbox One shooter, which has a February 27 release date.

The game will be compatible with PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio, as well as Windows 10 PC.

Set in the US, players can team up with a friend to battle a group of fanatics that are terrorising the fictional Hope County, Montana.

"As the new junior deputy of fictional Hope County, Montana, players will find that their arrival accelerates a years-long silent coup by a fanatical doomsday cult, the Project at Eden's Gate, igniting a violent takeover of the county," reads the official Ubisoft blurb.

"Caught off guard and drawn into a power struggle, players must disrupt the carefully laid plans of the Project at Eden’s Gate, and fan the fires of resistance to help liberate the Hope County community and themselves."

While playable character will be customisable, players will be able to hire resistance members from Hope County, including Pastor Jerome, a barworker named Mary May and a pilot called Nick Rye.

You'll need to convince them to join you first, because as executive producer Dan Hay points out, AI characters don't trust you right away.

"You go out into the world and you meet people for the first time, you don’t know them, maybe they don’t trust you,”Hay said. "But if you can strike up a deal with them, if you can have a conversation with them and make them part of what it is you’re building, they can join your resistance."
